Billy the Bus	Origins: The Dodger Song (52* d)	RE: Origins: The Dodger Song	08 Oct 04
G'day Joybell - Well done. The Almanac Singers' version takes me back a few years. Here's a link to the words and music, as sung by Lucy Quigley in 1958 - defininitly an American version. Alas the spring on my gramophone's broke, so I can't play the Almanac record, and my computer sound system is kapuy, so I can't hear Lucy. I'm having to rely on memory. But, the tune and the tenor of the words certainly have a 'Music Hall' ring to them. Nice to think the song may have evolved from Dickens (in a round about way). Will follow what others say with interest. Cheers 0 Sam
